Chapter 93 Self-driving Ali Zhongbei Line 11 (End)

Cuoqin was the first county they arrived in Ngari, with an average altitude of over 4500 meters, making it the city with the highest altitude in Ngari.

Come to town first.

The car drove slowly into the gas station.

Yu Jie jumped out of the car, yawning while doing chest expansion exercises.

Zhang Lin suddenly yelled: "What!" Then she quickly got out of the car and came to the refueling machine, and shouted: "12 yuan and seven gas?"

Yu Jie said, "Do you know what Ali is? Make a fuss."

Ali is located in a remote place, it is difficult for vehicles to pass through, and the price of everything is very high. The mainland is a class, the holy city is a class, and Ali is alone in a class.

"That's too expensive!"

Fortunately, she didn't say it in front of others, she just complained to her companions.

With some fuel still in the fuel tank, it cost close to 500 yuan to fill up the fuel tank. Zhang Lin was very distressed by the money, and was still muttering as she drove away: "I would have put more fuel in the car if I knew it earlier. "

After a hard day yesterday, several people wanted to live better.

So I specially found a hotel that looked good. There is a Lanzhou Ramen downstairs in the hotel.

"How about eating this?"

"Okay, I don't want to eat too greasy."

Everyone simply discussed and no one disagreed.

After sitting down, Yu Jie said, "Do you know who opened Lanzhou Ramen?"

"Not from Lanzhou?" Chen Xing said.

"No."

Yu Jie pointed to the sign of Lanzhou Ramen on the menu, and said: "Have you seen that sign? Halal restaurants, as long as the current Lanzhou Ramen restaurants have this sign, most of them are opened by Qinghai people, and don't look at Lanzhou Ramen everywhere. I thought it was a chain store, they shared the brand."

Zhang Lin said: "Then who created this brand, isn't it an infringement?"

"Is there any infringement? Do they dare to say that Lanzhou ramen is their own? Lanzhou people are the first to disagree, and what is popular in Lanzhou is beef noodles, not ramen."

"So Lanzhou ramen is not made by Lanzhou people?"

Hou Xiaoai said with a smile:
"I have been to Lanzhou. If you say Lanzhou Ramen in front of them, they dare to be impatient with you. It feels like we heard that Bangziren registered the Dragon Boat Festival in advance. Now many of us don't know Lanzhou. For beef noodles, I only know Lanzhou noodles.”

Yu Jie patted the table lightly, and said, "This metaphor is perfect, damn it!"

Today is the most comfortable day they have had since leaving the Holy Land.

Everyone slept in the hotel in the morning, and visited the local market in the afternoon, where Zhang Lin bought a Tibetan robe.

Tibetan robes are quite expensive, but they are made of solid materials and should be very warm to wear.

There is a square in the center of Cuoqin. Every night, many people come here to dance square dances, but their square dances are different from the square dances usually seen in the community, but Guozhuang dances.

There were dozens of local people, including men and women, the older ones were in their 50s and [-]s, the younger ones were in their twenties, and some were in their teens.They formed a big circle around the street lamp in the middle of the square, dancing lively with Tibetan songs playing on the speakers.

Chen Xing asked the people around him: "Will it be?"

Hou Xiaoai shook her head and said, "No, can you dance this dance?"

"I learned a kind in southern Yunnan, which is similar to this one."

The dance steps of Guozhuang Dance are actually very simple, and you can put your hands in your pockets without moving your hands, and just use your feet to move back and forth with them.

Chen Xing went up to play for a while.

Zhang Lin also found it interesting, and ran up to learn from Chen Xing.

Chen Xing said: "You probably know it after watching it for a long time, just follow along first, it's very simple. And it doesn't matter whether the dance is good or not, the main thing is the atmosphere."

Seeing that Chen Xing and Zhang Lin were having a good time, Hou Xiaoai and Yu Jie finally joined in.

In this kind of atmosphere where the group is happy, listening to music and dancing, no matter how big the troubles are, they will disappear at this time, leaving only happiness, and by the way, you can also exercise, which has many benefits.

In fact, this is the reason why square dance can be popular all over the country.

The next whole day was driving on bad roads, so Yu Jie smoked a whole pack of cigarettes all day, and when he was about to arrive at the accommodation in Renduo Township at night, everyone only heard a pop.

The right rear tire blew out.

Yu Jie got out of the car and took a look, picked up the sharp stone on the ground and said, "I knew it! It's only a matter of time before a tire blows out on this kind of road!"

Zhang Lin rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let's change the tire, the prepared spare tire is finally useful."

She took out the jack and assembled it. Of course, Chen Xing and Yu Jie did the physical work that required strength. He first used the jack to jack up the car body, and Yu Jie took the wrench to remove the tire.

At an altitude of more than 4000 meters, changing tires has become a terrible job.

As soon as Yu Jie unscrewed the two screws, he panted like an old cow who had plowed a few acres of land. He stood with his waist supported for a while, lit a cigarette and smoked.

Then board the screws.

As soon as he bent down and exerted his strength, Yu Jie's eyes suddenly went dark.

Everyone saw that Yu Jie suddenly lost his strength and fell towards the place where Chen Xing was.

Chen Xing quickly hugged him and made him lie on the ground halfway back.

Yu Jie was originally on his head, but for these sharp stones on the ground, if Chen Xing hadn't happened to be in front of him, he would at least have fallen to his head and bled.

Hou Xiaoai and Zhang Lin hurried up together.

Chen Xing checked and found that the matter was not serious. It was Yu Jie who took a puff of cigarettes. The oxygen content in the lungs was low, and the oxygen in the plateau environment was also low, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, and fainted for a while. That's all.

But when such a situation happened, Yu Jie's body could no longer support him to travel.

He took off his clothes and put it on the back of Yu Jie's head, let him lie down, and said to the two girls: "Please take a look, if he has any special circumstances, call me, I will change the tire first."

There is no traffic on this road now, so Chen Xing has to change the tire first, and send Yu Jie to Renduo Township for further treatment.

"Don't call 120?"

"It's better to call an ambulance and take him there by ourselves, and Renduo Township is also a small place, so there shouldn't be an ambulance."

A person like Yu Jie who faints due to lack of oxygen will wake up by himself in a short time, but his body will inevitably be weaker, and it will be difficult for him to continue to resist the thin oxygen at high altitude.

This is called vital energy injury in Chinese culture.

After the tire was changed, Zhang Lin drove and arrived in Renduo Township in half an hour. There is no hospital in Renduo Township, only a township health center, two doctors and four nurses.

They are all medical staff who have lived in the local area for a long time, and they have rich experience in how to treat various altitude sicknesses. When Chen Xing and the others came back from the hotel the next day, Yu Jie was already awake. .

When Chen Xing saw the situation, he asked, "What's the matter, why are you still getting fluids?"

Yu Jie's face turned even paler, and he said helplessly, "I'm a little dizzy, the doctor said it's a high fever."

"Then you have no hope of going on."

If he was only hypoxic for a while, it would be no problem to turn the mountain if he recovered well, but the high-altitude reaction would not work, and he had to go back to a place with a lower altitude immediately to rest.

When we started again, there was one person missing in the team.

But neither Zhang Lin nor Hou Xiaoai went to turn around the mountains. They would only rest in Shiquan River for two days to see if anyone could take a ride, and then take the north or south line to drive back to the holy city, so to be precise , After tonight, this temporary team should also be disbanded.

The departure point for Chen Xing's trip to the mountain was set at Taqin. To get to this place, he had to go to Hou Xiaoai and the others' destination, Shiquanhe, and then take a ride to Taqin by himself.

But the two insisted on sending Chen Xing to the finish line.

On the afternoon of November 11, Chen Xing finally arrived at the small village of Taqin.

The place is quite lively, with shops and hotels. Over the years, because of Gang Rinpoche's fame, there are not many tourists from other places who come here, but there is an endless stream, and the hotel always has guests.

When they entered the village, they saw a girl standing at the entrance of the village, holding a sign in her hand asking to go to the mountain to form a team.

Zhang Lin slowed down the car and looked at it for a while, almost making people think that this car is going to accept her, so she drove away and said to Xiao Ai: "It's like playing a game team, Chen Xing, you are alone, Do you want to form a team?"

Chen Xing shook his head and said, "If I team up with that girl, I might as well go alone."

Hou Xiaoai said, "Then we want to go too?"

"Don't..."

Chen Xing didn't want them to go too. Whether it was from the previous school or from the information slowly collected during this period, it was not an easy task to go around the mountain. It was a double test of one's physical fitness and willpower. .

He couldn't even guarantee that his journey around the mountain would go smoothly, let alone bring two more people with him.
